WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden will propose a minimum tax for billionaires as part of the fiscal 2023 budget, which is expected to be presented on Monday, a document released by the White House showed.
Biden’s “Billionaire Minimum Income Tax” would set a 20% minimum tax rate for households worth more than $100 million, in a plan that would target primarily the United States’ more than 700 billionaires, according to a release released Saturday White House Fact Sheet.
The plan would require such households to pay the minimum tax of 20% on all their income, including unrealized capital gains that are now untaxed, the fact sheet said.
The tax will help reduce the budget deficit by about $360 billion over the next decade, the fact sheet added.
Senate Democrats last fall proposed a billionaire tax to help Biden’s social and climate change agenda known as “Build Back Better,” though the spending package failed to move forward due to insufficient Senate support.
